Swapna was tested for nearly 3 years, with over 50 persons and then an Ayurvedic License was taken on 21-4-1994.  Limited Users trials, 50 persons,  / phase 2 in Clinical Test procedure, was over before that

Hair Research Studies - Tests

Most hair research studies are done with about 50 people. As the number exceeded 50 by 1995, no need was felt for clinical trials. The ultimate users have judged the product by the results and not guided or misguided by any intermediary / advertisements - it is sincere and unbiased. The handwritten reports of many early users are in our records. Those details are presented in a summarised way in this site, without disclosing their identities.

First Test    -  Bald Head of the Formulator  [ May 91 to Nov 91]

I got some new hair besides hairloss control in June / July 1991 - after 24 years loss and baldness.  refer Hair Invention I alone used it for 6 months and found it suited and convenient in all routine aspects.

I did however give it to my 3rd sister, who was returning to America, in Aug 1991. She got 'hairloss control' in 3 weeks. Being a US citizen, she was using only American Products after 1978

 
Outsiders Test - one step ahead   [Dec 91 to Oct 92:  About 10 Users / Blind test]

A 67 years old Lady, with negligible  hair at the mid front, started using Swapna from December 91 or so and her progress was very good. Her photos are in the index / home and other pages.

Fresh  volunteers were selected by a friend from January 1992 and so any favourable or unfavourable personal bias in testing the product, is minimal. All the Volunteers / users with different Family backgrounds, Age, Sex, Blood Groups eating habits, tension level etc, benefitted with Swapna.  

The identity of the maker was not made known.
 

 Retail front  -  repeat purchases  Oct 92 to April 94.  About 36 users ;  [ Over 40 used it but only those, whose reports are with us, accounted]
 
 

The handwritten reports of the initial 36 reports were tabulated and analysed. There was not a single negative report in 3 years. The oral reports, which were over 80, were ignored.

An Ayurvedic Manufacturing License was taken for the product on 21-4-94. Swapna was sold to unknown strangers, by the retail outlets. The buyers bought the product again from the shops. 

Repeat purchase is a critical marketability / suitability test and Swapna passed that also.

I lost the services of my only 2 office assistants in early 1995 and had to stop the retail Sales in early 1995. Due to my practice of limited, contented sales / income, I had to run my Printing Ink business without any administrative assistance till 2003 

Tests by Medical Professionals 1994-95

 

One Doctor, a MD in Pathology and known to me since 1978 or so,  circulated 50 sample bottles amongst his fellow Doctors. Many were impressed with the results. They asked for more but I declined [  Doctors expect free samples. Repeat free samples were not given. Do they treat us free ? ]

Earlier, a resident Allopathic Doctor in a local hospital and an Orthopaedist, a fellow billiards player known to me since 1976, have also used the product. He got some hair on his bald forehead. He was taking 5 bottles and fellow Doctors used to pinch 4 bottles free. He only told me first in 1992 about 'multigain' debacle

Test with Bread and Butter Customers 1996

The product  was introduced to all the regular customers in my main business of Printing Inks after 1996 or so, gradually. Had anyone got a bad effect, you can bet that my main source of income could have got affected. Swapna is a Hair Saver is what they said
